Important User Information
Solid state equipment has operational characteristics differing from those of electromechanical
equipment. Safety Guidelines for the Application, Installation and Maintenance of Solid State Controls
(Publication SGI-1.1 available from your local Rockwell Automation sales office or online at
http://literature.rockwellautomation.com) describes some important differences between solid state
equipment and hard-wired electromechanical devices. Because of this difference, and also because of the
wide variety of uses for solid state equipment, all persons responsible for applying this equipment must
satisfy themselves that each intended application of this equipment is acceptable.
In no event will Rockwell Automation, Inc. be responsible or liable for indirect or consequential damages
resulting from the use or application of this equipment.

About the Power Supply
FLEX Ex Power Supply 3
The power supply is an essential component in the operation of an
intrinsically safe system. It must isolate the unsafe incoming power from the
control system and limit the available energy to IS-safe levels.
No other power sources are needed to operate any components attached to
the FLEX Ex system in the hazardous area. Power for valves, actuators, or
transmitters come from the FLEX Ex modules.

4 FLEX Ex Power Supply
The 1797-PS2E2 is a 24V dc in/quad-Ex dc out power supply in an
flame-proof enclosure with increased safety input and output terminations.
The 24V dc gland is an M20 x 1,5 and can accept a cable from 6…12
mm
(0.267…0.472 in.) in diameter. The Ex outputs are M16 x 1,5 and can accept a
cable from 4…8 mm (0.157…0.315 in.) in diameter.
Features include the following:
24V dc supply source
Four channels, 8.5 W output each channel
Dual power feeds for source input redundancy
Outputs are IS galvanically isolated from the source
All channels are independently IS limited
Understand System Planning
Part of system planning is determining what modules are needed for the
application, how many power supplies are needed, how to best partition the
system, and where to locate the system cabinets.
A key task in the development cycle is determining the number of power
supply outputs (thus power supplies) you will need. In the following example,
you will need 11 power outputs if you are using the fiber hub, which requires
8.5 W.
ModulesRequiresModulesRequires
Fiber hub8.5 WTwo thermocouple inputs1.6 W each
Two ControlNet adapters
Two analog inputs7.5 W each Three NAMUR digital inputs2.8 W each
Two analog outputs6.3 W eachTwo counter inputs4.25 W each
8.5 W eachTwo digital outputs7.5 W each
Each power supply has four independent IS-power outputs capable of 8.5 W
each. In the above example, we required 11 IS-power outputs so 3 power
supplies were sufficient.

The total number of power supplies needed depends on the modules used
and the total system configuration. The following illustration shows how this
example may be configured.
Even though modules may be supplied with power from the same
power-supply output channel, galvanic isolation in the module
provides module-to-module galvanic isolation. Depending upon
the module-type, galvanic isolation (channel-to-channel within the
module) may or may not be provided. See the module’s
specifications for more information.

WARNING
41307
Make certain that you only connect intrinsically-safe power supplies to other
intrinsically-safe system modules or adapters to maintain the integrity of the
intrinsically-safe backplane.
Installation in Zone 1, 22
The 1797-PS2E2 power supply has a protection factor of IP65. Refer to the
specifications table for the IS module type.
The power supply cannot be used in an intrinsically safe environment
after its outputs have been exposed to nonintrinsically safe signals.
Application
When installing, commissioning, operating, and maintaining devices or device
components of the FLEX Ex system as intrinsically-safe electrical apparatus
in potentially explosive atmospheres according to EN 60079-11, you must
heed the EC- type examination certificate and the applicable national and
local construction, installation, and operating regulations.
Zone 1
The power supply can be located in Zone 1. The permissible ambient
temperature of -20…70 °C must not be exceeded.
Zone 22
The housing type of the power supply is applicable for use in Zone 22. It
corresponds with the category 3D acc. to directive 94/9 EC and is marked
with a type label accordingly.
Publication
1797-5.8 - June 2010
Page 7
FLEX Ex Power Supply 7
Installation and Commissioning
The power supply unit can be located in Zones 1, 2, and 22 as stated on its
label. The output circuits are according to the ignition protection class Ex ib
and can be installed in Zones 1, 2, and 22. When installing, you must heed the
EC- type examination certificate (especially the special conditions) and the
applicable national and local construction, installation, and operating
regulations.
The housing (Ex d) must not be opened (screw cover). Connections are made
in the (Ex e) terminal box.
Install the power feed lines only in the deenergized state. Also follow the
information on the type label, respectively the covers of the terminals.
You can connect and disconnect the intrinsically-safe output terminals during
operation.
All unused cable glands must be covered by appropriate prototype tested Ex e
lead seals to keep the requirement of IP54.
The cover installed on the nonintrinsically-safe screw terminals
(IP30) may be removed only in the deenergized state and must be remounted
after working on these terminals.
Before closing the cover of the (Ex e) wiring box, inspect the seal for any
signs of damage. In case of damage, the seal must be replaced by a new seal
that is identical to the damaged seal.
The power supply housing contains two flanges, which can be connected to a
wall or other structural part by means of fixing screws. Select fixing screws
that ensure secure fixing of the power supply. Consider the condition of
vibration of the power supply when making this selection.
On the (Ex d) housing there is an earthing screw. This screw must be
connected to Earth with a conductor having a minimum of 4 mm² (0.006 in.
area. The connection has to be protected against self-opening and corrosion.
Corrosion protection can be achieved by using tinned terminal ends.
Before opening the (Ex e) terminal box (for example, for maintenance
purposes), it must be cleaned of all dust particles to ensure that no dust can
enter the box.

Outputs
When using an intrinsically-safe electrical apparatus according to EN
60079-11, the European directives and regulations must be followed.
The channels in the power supply are electrically connected to each other and
have a common +V line.
You cannot interconnect lines because of the intrinsic safety
requirements.

3. Connect the blue IS-safe output power wiring to the output terminals
making sure all connections are tight.
These power supply outputs provide the input power to the FLEX Ex
modules.
4. Thread the hazardous incoming-power wiring through the black
compression seals.
5. Connect the hazardous incoming-power wiring to the input terminals
making sure all connections are tight.
You can daisy-chain the hazardous incoming-power wiring to further
supplies to simplify system wiring.
Keep hazardous and IS-safe wiring separated in a suitable
fashion. Do not leave long, excess wiring that could bridge
between the hazardous and safe areas.
6. Replace the lid of the Ex e terminal box.
7. Screw the lid back into place making sure all of the screws are tight.
